The rationalization is kind of funny. It is really not so complicated. If I went out and waved a treat in front of my dog, stuck it in my pocket came back and sat down for two weeks while he sits there drooling I'm a pretty big jerk.
These big modern marketers like to mask it as something positive, but it's not, it's the quick, easy, and abusive way to train and dominate an animal.
People like to pretend we are better than that though, so they make up complicated reasons why they must endure what even dumb animals know is unfair.
I don't think it's Firaxis to blame really though, I think they stick with a publisher that gives them more freedom at the cost of not so great marketing, which they have enough of a name and good will not to really need
-and that's good, it's integrity; a good way to convince an animal to follow your lead of its own volition.
They do try that other way though, they're just kind of looking at what the bigger firms are doing and trying to copy them in their cute awkward nerd hands kinda way.
What they need to realize is that they're dealing with a different market, but they don't do the research to appreciate that fact and how it should change their approach.
So yeah Like Xur says, amateur communications really. But I think that's a strength.
-Except for right now.
I just like to blow things out of proportion though tbh.
It's a good way to pass the time while bored waiting for a thing.
Here's a cute and funny video about monkeys to pass the time.
You guys jump through a lot of hoops to defend amateur communication and that's fine
There's people that complain about cold food and there's people that don't. It could also be an Australian Spring patch by the way, so better settle in and praise Firaxis for being super duper professional.
Also, are you Australian Xur? Who's to say we won't get it in our spring, and you won't get it in your spring? It is
"the spring patch" after all. That could be mighty inappropriate to release it in Australia's fall
It might take that long to get past the censorship bureau too. The way Cleo and Gitarja look at you is sure to irredeemably corrupt Australia's youth.
